In a modern business, there is rarely such a thing as a stand-alone computer. Most office-based computers are linked to each other via a central computer called a “server,” which allows them to communicate and often hold programs, files and data that can be accessed by others in the system. Together, these computers form what’s known as a “network.” Making sure that network continues to operate as intended is the job of the Network Administrator.
Typically, a Network Administrator is responsible for:
- Customizing the network to meet the company’s needs
- Adding or removing hardware (computers, printers, etc.)
- Adding and removing software (programs)
- Troubleshooting problems
- Keeping the network working at top speed
- Making sure the network is secure from external and internal tampering
